research Identification of Novel Mutations in Basic Hair Keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in Monilethrix: Implications for Protein Structure and Clinical Phenotype
New mutations in hair keratin genes can change hair structure and cause monilethrix, with nail issues more common in certain gene mutations.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research Sequences and differential expression of three novel human type-II hair keratins
Hair differentiation starts earlier than thought, involving multiple type-II keratins.
research Influence of TRPV3 mutation on hair growth cycle in mice
The TRPV3 gene mutation affects hair growth by keeping mice in the growth phase longer, which could help treat hair loss.

The Foxn1 gene is essential for normal nail and hair development.
research Nestin‐positive hair follicle pluripotent stem cells can promote regeneration of impinged peripheral nerve injury
Hair follicle stem cells can help repair nerve injuries.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues the Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research Three cDNA sequences of mouse type I keratins. Cellular localization of the mRNAs in normal and hyperproliferative tissues.
Different keratins have unique expression patterns in mouse skin cells.
research Hirsutism and the Variable Response of the Pilosebaceous Unit to Androgen
Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.
research Pax9 is required for filiform papilla development and suppresses skin-specific differentiation of the mammalian tongue epithelium
Pax9 is crucial for proper tongue surface development and preventing skin-like changes.

Mouse nails are similar to human nails, making them useful for studying nail diseases.
research Keratins and lipids in ethnic hair
African hair's keratin structure is influenced by its higher lipid content.
research Studies on the Proteome of Human Hair - Identification of Histones and Deamidated Keratins
Human hair contains diverse proteins, including keratins and histones, which could help assess hair health and aging.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research An immunohistochemical study of the apocrine type of cutaneous mixed tumors with special reference to their follicular and sebaceous differentiation
Apocrine type cutaneous mixed tumors often resemble hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and apocrine glands.
research Generalized trichoepitheliomas with alopecia and myasthenia gravis: Clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical study and comparison with classic and desmoplastic trichoepithelioma
Generalized trichoepitheliomas with hair loss may indicate myasthenia gravis.
